This course explores theoretical and conceptual frameworks for school programs such as Open Minds, Beyond Classrooms Kingston, and School in the Park. Around the globe, students and teachers are moving outside the school walls into a variety of real-world settings: natural wetlands, City Hall, an art gallery, a community museum. Teacher candidates examine curricula, programs and educational thinking that challenge students and teachers to engage in authentic inquiry, problem-solving, reflection and community engagement - outside the classroom.
